Firemen Make
Good Showing
Woodsboro, Texas. — The local
fire-fighting unit failed in their
attempt to win any of the prizes
at the Firemen’s celebration held
in Orange Grove Sunday. However
rated to win, the boys stated that
they failed to have the punch to
get into the prize money.
They placed third in both the
Paris rule and pumper events,
however only first and second
places received prizes in these
events. Their time for the pumper
race was 23.4 seconds, with Alice
taking first at 21.8. In the Paris
rule the locals clocked the time of
19.1 seconds, however Sinton took
both places in this event with their
first place team registering 18.1
seconds.
Although the boys • failed
to get. into the prize money, from
the resume above it can be seen
that they made an excellent show-
ing considering the large field of
nine teams entered. The boys are
to be congratulated on their record.

Kansas to Observe
Old Thanksgiving
Topeka, Kan.—Thanksgiving in
Kansas will be observed on Nov-
ember 30, notwithstanding the an-
nounced intention of President
Roosevelt and several state gover-
nors to proclaim a date one week
earlier this year as a stimulus to
business.
In a statement announcing his
action on the date, Governor Payne
Ratner described the president’s
plan as a “crumb to business men,”
and added that in “Kansas we do
not destroy tradition merely to
gain newspaper headlines.”
Carlsbad Caverns
Discovered in 1901; made a national park in 1930,
Carlsbad Caverns are, in size, delicate coloring,
bewildering variety and perfection of formations,
without peer among the famous caverns of the
world. Of astounding proportions, the Big Room,
750 feet underground, is •}£ if a mile long, 625
feet wide and 300 feet high, is studded by liter-
ally billions of formations, many of which, like the
Giant Dome, here, took sixty million years to form.
7 miles of corridors and chambers have been de-
veloped. Other grottos, discovered at the 900-foot
and 1,300-foot levels remain to be explored. No
one knows the full extent of this "King of the Cav-
erns" which inspires 5,000 visitors each month
with its breath-taking beauty.—Photo bu Jay Leek.
No other beer duplicates the Flavor, Body
and Quality that make PEAHL Famous!
What Carlsbad Cavern does to the
eye, Texas' Own PEARL Beer does to
the taste. "Magnificent” is the only
word for it! Try an iced-cold bottle
of PEARL Beer any summer day and
judge for yourself why a jury of thou-
sands more taste-wise Texans everyday
declare it tops for flavor, body and
quality and a winner for palate-
pleasing pep and refreshment. You'll
get a genuine taste-thrill every time
you say, "Bottle of Pearl, please”!
